Pakistan News International
Pakistan News International (PNI), Pakistan's totally independent news and photo service, was launched on January, 1976, to highlight events in one of the world's dangerous regions Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Kashmir. Initially, PNI started its English news services and later on started its Urdu service on February 1st, 1978. It disseminates national, regional and international news without receiving any support by the government. The agency has also started its web services. Agency owns different famous magazines like weekly �Mayar since 1976�, famous children monthly �Totbatot since1978� and world�s renowned tourist magazine �The Destination since 1990�.
PNI has recruited a team of young and educated professionals who are given imparted training to adopt unbiased attitude in filing or editing news. The news agency has neither any favorite nor enemy as far as news coverage is concerned. Now PNI is enhancing its capabilities and network to all of the major cities and small towns as well.
The agency provides services to more than 90 national and international newspapers and television channels as well as websites in English, Arabic and Urdu. PNI has a compact information network with its Headquarters in Karachi and full-fledged Bureau Offices in Islamabad, Lahore, Quetta, Peshawar Muzaffarabad and Hyderabad. The agency has a Bureau Office in New York and Dubai as well. We have a network of 400 correspondents, reporters and stringers throughout Pakistan, one of the largest reporting networks in the country.
Our Mission:
Information is an agent of change. Since its inception, back in 1976, PNI has believed in the role of information as a precondition for lifting communities out of poverty and marginalization. This belief is reflected in our historic mission:
�Giving a voice to the voiceless� - acting as a communication channel that privileges the voices and the concerns of the poorest and creates a climate of understanding, accountability and participation around development, promoting new international information order between the South and the North, East and West.
To fulfill this very important mission, PNI has developed a three-pronged strategy that is reflected in its three main areas of work:
Providing News and Contents: producing stories and analyzes, which explain how events and global processes affect individuals and communities, especially the marginalized and voiceless.
Capacity-Building: empowering journalists, media organizations and civil society to be better able to communicate effectively by leveraging PNI� unique character as a Southern-focused news agency, offering a different kind of training and follow-up.
Dissemination and Networking: building an information bridge linking civil society, international institutions, policy-makers, donors and individual readers, to promote an ongoing dialogue about communication and development for a better world.
